Poilievre represented the Ottawa seat of Carleton for 20 years but lost it in April’s general election to rookie Liberal Bruce Fanjoy.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has said he will call a byelection in the riding as soon as possible with “no games.”
The byelection can be called no earlier than 11 days after the Speaker of the House of Commons formally informs the chief electoral officer of the vacancy.
With Kurek’s resignation today that puts the first possible date for the byelection to happen into early August.
